Olivia Rodrigo is living out her fanfic dreams.
During an appearance on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's podcast Music Makes Us on Tuesday, Dec. 16, the "Vampire" singer opened up about the full-circle moment she experienced when she hung out with Harry Styles.
“I used to write One Direction fan fiction when I was in elementary school,” Rodrigo, 22, said, adding, “Many years later, I hung out with Harry Styles, and we got tea, and we walked around."
She continued, "And I got home, and I was like, 'What the f---?' I feel like I wrote that in a fan fiction, and now I’ve lived it. That is so crazy how that can happen in your life."

The "Brutal" singer said he was "so sweet" — and if she told her 10-year-old self that was in her future, she'd say, "Shut the f--- up, you're lying."
Rodrigo first revealed she enjoyed Styles fan fiction in an August 2023 cover story with Vogue.
Elsewhere in the podcast episode, the "Traitor" singer opened up about the record she always returns to when she needs to feel inspired.
"Honestly, I listen to [Alanis Morissette's] Jagged Little Pill when I'm feeling, like, I don't know what to say or like, who am I?" she said. "For some reason that album, just like, every part of what makes a human being a human being, it feels like it's encapsulated in that record."
What she enjoys most about the album is the balance of "anger and spite and jealousy" with "joy and hope."
"I f---ing love that album as everyone on the planet does but I just think, it reminds me what I'm trying to go after," Rodrigo added.

She also admires how Morissette is "being herself and letting it all pour out" on the album.
"As a writer that's always like the most inspiring thing when you just feel like someone just needed to say something," Rodrigo added. "They're not just writing a song to make it go big or make people like it."
In November, Rodrigo took the stage at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation to perform "We're Going to Be Friends" in honor of the White Stripes.
